Constant Wireless Network Repair

Question

Network configuration was a Speedstream DSL Modem, US Robotics Wireless Router, Sony Desktop w/XP, HP DV4000 Laptop, HP Wireless Printer. Network configuration is now the same Speedstream DSL Modem, new Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router, new HP Desktop w/XP, same HP DV4000 Laptop, same HP Wireless Printer. Everything was installed using the Easy Link software. The wireless Laptop connection was installed with Easy Link and an Ethernet cable as directed. The problem: My old configuration recognized the wireless button on my laptop and automatically placed me on the LAN. Now when I press the wireless button, the new configuration requires me to right click on the WLAN Icon and do a repair each time after using the wireless button to log on. Is there a parameter I can change on the LAN, Router or Laptop to avoid this constant Repair request? Everything else seems to work fine. Thanks!
